As you may know, while jailbreak tools like Redsn0w released by the iPhone Dev team and Sn0wbreezeby iH8sn0w can jailbreak the beta versions of iOS 5, they only support a tethered jailbreak.This means means that you need to connect your iOS device to the computer on every reboot, which is not very convenient. The good news is that Chronic Dev team are actively working to on an untethered jailbreakfor iOS 5. Chronic Dev team had released greenpois0n to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1.

In the last few days, pod2g - member of the Chronic Dev team has tweeted:

yeah, the whole chronic-dev team is still alive and actively working on iOS 5 !

Nearly everything in my life except my job changed... Also, I worked on some exploit that took me lot of time.That would be a great mistake to give info about iOS 5 jailbreak.

There won't be untethered jailbreaks for iOS 5 betas. It would give too much intel to Apple to fix.

We may be reading too much between the lines but lets hope that the jailbreaking community has figured out to support an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. We're also quite sure that iPhone Dev team is also working on it.

It will be also interesting to see if Apple fixes the exploit that allows the tethered jailbreak in the next beta version of iOS 5, which may be the final beta version before Apple releases iOS 5 golden master and then releases it to the public.
